Add the RDFa-inspired metadata and a Like button to a standard web page representing a place, group, product, website or one of another limited set of object types and people can “Like” it just like they might join a fan page within Facebook itself. You can then send news feed updates to all of that page’s subscribers. The bootstrapped metadata can then benefit other services as well. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dare-obasanjo">dare-obasanjo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/facebook">facebook</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/metadata">metadata</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/opengraph">opengraph</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/opengraphprotocol">opengraphprotocol</a></p>
